99 Doilies...wonderful!

This is one doily book I keep going back to. I started to use it as a beginner and it really challenged me to learn new stitches. They don't have pictures of the stitches, only a stitch guide (for each doily) that has them written out. This was a real challenge for me but it forced me to be able to read how to complete stitches or I was stuck. There is not a big section for beginners on how to do each and every stitch so don't expect one. These are small projects/doilies, they are 10 inches and under in size. I get a few doilies out of each ball of crochet thread. I wouldn't recommend a big ball of 1,000 yard thread if you don't want all your doilies the same color. The gauge is for a 1.65 mm hook, my hook set didn't come with that size so I use a 1.6 or a 1.7 mm. Every doily has a picture, most are located in the middle of the book, they are on the front and back cover as well and they are all out of number order. I make a note on which page the picture is on so I can go back to it and look. This will help eliminate the search. Overall, it is a good book and I recommend it.
